What it is

Plugin Alliance sells subscription access to 200+ plugins from 40+ boutique brands such as Brainworx, SPL, Maag, Black Box and Lindell, with a strong focus on console emulations, channel strips and mastering processors. The CORE plan lets you keep 3 plugins forever each year, and PRO lets you keep 10 and adds partner discounts. It suits mixing and mastering engineers building a serious toolkit. The catalogue is light on virtual instruments, and the company's Trustpilot score is poor.

Community sentiment

What people praise

Mixing engineers often call it the best value plugin subscription, citing the size and quality of the console and dynamics catalogue and the plugins you get to keep.

What people complain about

Sceptics say most people need only a handful of plugins and that any subscription is poorer value than buying a few favourites outright.
